System/Technique Application Form

(Fill out the form below or download the application )

Given the wide range of methods/systems/techniques of using sound that exist,
designing an application and a method for visitors to view different systems
was a task almost impossible in nature. We have done our very best but are
aware that we have, and will probably continue to, fallen short of our ultimate
goal. Please let us know if you have any suggestions.

Something to keep in mind while filling out this form is that your audience will
be someone interested in sound therapy but possibly with little or no background.
You are not submitting a system for the review of a panel of experts for it's validity,
your application will be reviewed for clarity and consistency throughout listings
ONLY, the reviewers are not empowered to judge the "validity, usefulness, or the
possible benefits of a system." You might want to have a look at our member
listings to understand our publication format before you proceed. We also suggest
that you read all the questions on the form before proceeding.

Should you have any questions regarding how to complete this application or you
require any other assistance please do not hesitate to address your concerns to
info@soundtherapyassociation.org

If you would like to, this space is for you to write a little about the history of the system.

Describe the system:

NOTE: We ask that you not write 1 sentence and then put "Please see my website for a
description". Instead, provide a description with sufficient info that someone viewing it
will understand at least the basics of what you do, they will be smart enough to go to
your site or contact you for more info. We realize it is difficult if not impossible to distill
what is sometimes a life work into words but it is a waste of our time to publish
statements like the above and we will not do it. We do not limit the length of your
description, take advantage of this fact and give solid information about your methods, not just
vague hype and claims. It may take a little more effort from you but by doing so you will honor
our mission and the large quantities of energy our volunteers put in.
